I have patronize Village Inn for over eight years, from Ozark to Springfield and now Republic. Within the last year the quality and quantity of food presented in Republic is short of the standard you get what you pay for. I know the two brothers that help their dad run the business and have spoke to both of them concerning this problem. But tonight experience left me with a feeling, "I am not going back again". I left feeling very disappointed and discourage, a place I use to compliment and recommend to friends and family. Needless to say like most places they start out offering value for what you pay for, only to change later. Sorry, but until they take serious how they give you equal value for the dollar you spend, I won't return. Dennis N

We've eaten at Village Inn probably 10 times in the last year. I'll review the last experience. We had a group of 6 that went for dinner. They weren't busy, but it seemed like it was a little slow on the service side. Drinks didn't get refilled, there was a heavy delay in getting some condiments and while it wasn't the slowest service we've experienced, it was a bit disappointing based on how busy they appeared. I believe there were only 6 or 7 other tables with bodies at them in the entire restaurant. I typically order the roast beef (au jus), which is decent and treats me well on most of my visits. On this particular visit, they had a special running on burgers, fries and pie. Since pie was the real reason for the visit, this fit the bill. Shockingly, I had a low bar for the burger. While my expectations ran low, the burger was surprisingly good. The bun was fresh, the meat was cooked well, the dressing for the burger were spot on and everything seemed good. The fries were average to sub average greesy spoon fries. We had 4 of our party order the burgers and we all were in agreement that it met and exceeded our expectations. I think most of us had the triple berry pie for dessert (my favorite from VI) and it was great. This pie is by far my favorite. One in our group had the apple pie and stated that something wasn't right with it (not sure if the crust was under cooked or if the apples weren't fresh). I was offered a taste, but when they said "something isn't right", I knew better than to stick my fork in it. All in all....it's not a bad place for a bite (Wednesday's are free pie night with an entree purchase). As long as you view it as a greasy spoon and not a fine dining experience, I think it's worth the trip. I'm certain that we've had better service than the last trip in (and it probably would've obtained 4 stars, had that been in check).

I've been there several times, as a aficionado of the VI in south Springfield I could not resist having a brand new restaurant close to home. It's evident that they have big trouble adjusting and creating a working team: the kitchen mistake the orders, the waitress don't know what goes with each speciality plate. I was expecting something better, maybe some cook or waiter from the older place to lead the new people, but instead we, the customer, are the beta tester or this place. I will go again giving them one more chance, but so far I never got exactly what I ordered and cooked as I asked.

My family and I have been there a little over 5 times now. Each and every time we go the service is just bad. We have to flag someone down for paper towels, we have to flag someone down for refills. We went there yesterday against my better judgement and stood in the doorway for 8 minutes!!!!!! We saw a waitress who looked at us and tended her table. We saw someone else pull out a hand vac and clean up a mess who also saw us. No it wasn't packed, there were 4 tables being used total, there is no excuse to have a customer waiting over 8 minutes to be seated. This was the final straw, although the food is "ok" we will never be going there again and will be telling our friends and family the same thing, until they hire some new help who know what it is to take care of their customers so they become returning customers that place will suffer. Good luck if you go.

My fiancee' and I went here for dinner tonight. The food was fine, but it seems like they still have a lot of work to do as a staff. First the good: - We went on Mother's day ~4:30 and were able to sit down right away. - The place had a nice layout and done in the typical Village Inn decor. - We were first seated at the back of the restaurant. They had the back door opened w/ a fan to clear out what I was told was smoke from one of the toasters. It wound up being a bit cold so we asked to be moved which they did w/o a problem. - They got creative w/ the menu. Most of it is typical diner type food, but we both got the V.I.B. where you pick 4+ items. I like this idea since it allows to try a variety of items on the menu. Now the not-so-good: - The order got all botched up. Like I said we both ordered the V.I.B. My plate had some extra eggs on it (good). But my she got short-changed on her eggs (bad). They gave her extra bacon on her plate (good) but also only gave her 1 slice of toast (bad). Not sure if the toast is supposed to be only 1 slice. If it is then that's a bit of a rip-off in my opinion. They rang up the order incorrectly which wound up coming out in our favor (good) but as soon as we were done eating she didn't feel good and we had to home right away (bad). Didn't even get a chance to enjoy the French Silk Pie (very bad). Overall I think this place will be OK once they sh*t together. They've only been open for a few weeks and look like they are going through some growing pains with the staff. I wouldn't expect this though from a place that already has a few established locations. I'm sure we will go back and hopefully things turn out better because it would be great to have a good restaurant in Republic to go to.

I want so much for this restaurant to succeed, but unless they make some changes, I don't see it happening. The service is sooooooo slow. It's as if none of the wait staff has ever worked in the business before. The food is decent, but the last time we ate there, the whipped cream pie topping was not sweet at all! I mean, that's why you get pie, right? For the sweetness? We also tried to order crepes, which are featured prominently on their menu, but were told the only person who knows how to make them wasn't working that day. Really? No one seems to know what section they are supposed to wait on and I see the servers carrying around trays of food because they're not sure where to deliver them. We were two of maybe half a dozen diners in the restaurant, and we waited about 30 minutes for a sandwich and a waffle. Really hope they get it together soon. I hate to see any business fail because the team just can't get it together. We've been there three times and will give it another try, but not very many more.
